Stop Scooping the Golf Ball

Stop Scooping the Golf Ball



Most golfers try to help the ball into the air.

That’s the problem.

In this week’s Monday Mulligan, we’re focusing on compression, and how to train it with a simple broken tee drill.

The Drill: Place a broken tee just in front of the golf ball.

Your goal: Strike the ball, then the tee.

If you can clip the tee after impact, you’re:

– Hitting down on the ball
– Controlling the low point
– Compressing the ball properly

Scooping or trying to lift the ball will:

– Move your low point too early
– Kill compression
– Lead to thin or weak contact

Let the loft of the club do the work.

You don’t lift the ball.
You strike it. ⛳
